[Deprecated metadata did not work with setter

[Deprecated did work with getter but did not work with setter.
Please see this screen recording for more detail.

Thanks!

Sometimes [Deprecated still worked with the setter, and sometimes it didn’t. I haven’t been able to figure out the real reason yet…

I've observed that the compiler doesn't seem to report a warning if you are setting a property on a subclass that overrides a setter.

class A {
	[Deprecated(message="hi")]
	public function set xyz(value:Number):void {};
}

class B extends A {
	public function B() {
		this.xyz = 123;
	}

	override public function set xyz(value:Number):void {};
}

I confirm that none of the Flex SDK, AIR SDK (ASC 2.0), or Apache Royale report a deprecation warning in this case. If you comment out the override, they report a deprecation warning as expected.

The best workaround is likely to add [Deprecated] metadata to the subclass overrides as well.
